One critic’s response to the philosopher’s new work is not that the position it takes is heretical, as some have asserted, but instead nothing new to anyone who knows anything about the topic.

A.    not that the position it takes is heretical, as some have asserted, but instead
B.    not that the position it takes is heretical, like some have asserted, but it is
C.    not that the position it takes is heretical, as some have asserted, but rather that it is
D.    that the position it takes is not heretical, like some have asserted, instead
E.    that the position it takes is not heretical, as some have asserted it to be, but rather it is
答案选C，为什么不选A呢？c加了一个rather that 不多余吗？谢谢
